Notice in this first story that only the illegal alien drug smugglers were shooting. The federal and border patrol agents apparently did not. Not did they catch their car-stealing, drug-smuggling attempted murderers. After all, if you go after people like that, you just might end up in jail like Ramos and Compean.
Pot smugglers fire on helicopter near border
YUMA — Smugglers who abandoned two truckloads of marijuana along the Colorado River after crossing into the United States fired shots at a helicopter carrying federal agents but missed, authorities said…As a U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter carrying Border Patrol and CBP agents flew nearby to help agents on the ground, a number of shots were fired at the aircraft, apparently from across the river, agents said.
The Border Patrol said neither agents nor the chopper were hit and that the pilot moved the aircraft to safety. Agents seized 175 bundles of marijuana that weighed almost 2,300 pounds from the two vehicles that were left behind. The pot has an estimated street value of more than $1.8 million, the Border Patrol said. Both vehicles had been reported stolen.
In the meantime, border patrol agents did arrest someone–a convicted child rapist walking back into this country.
Border agents arrest convicted child rapist
Jose Cruz-Garcia, a 32-year-old Mexican citizen, was taken into custody on a charge of rentry into the country by an aggravated felon after agents spotted him in the desert west of Nogales, said Border Patrol Agent Dove Haber. Cruz-Garcia had been convicted of rape of a child in 1998 in Washington and was sentenced to a year in jail, Haber said…He is being held in a federal detention facility awaiting formal removal proceedings in a federal court, Haber said, adding a judge could order his removal or deportation.
Under removal he could not apply for permission to re-enter the United States for 10 years. If he is deported he could not apply to re-enter the country for about 20 years, Haber said.
LMAOROTF! “Apply” for reentry?! Hahahahahahahahah!! Oh, and what part of hell did we visit when we decided that rape of a child is worth only one year in jail? If you touch a child you should be executed. Plain and simple. One year in jail. 10 years ago and we catch him in 2007 coming back over. The number of times he’s been back and forth, and the children he’s raped in the last ten years, is a number we probably don’t even want to contemplate.
Yeah, no reason whatsoever for a physical fence. All it would do is keep drug-smuggling vans from being able to drive across the border and it just might make it a tad more difficult for child-raping beasts to stroll on over.
Can’t re-apply for 20 years? What is this, a country club for God’s sake?!
Rapists, especially those who rape children, are incapable of rehabilitation. Plain and simple. Execution is the only answer for monsters like this.
Thank you.
Ramos and Compean were imprisoned in January so they have only two more months to serve. Oh wait, they have 10 and 11 more years to serve–in solitary confinement 23-hrs a day. That’s right, they raped…uh, no…they shot a child…hold on, not a child, a drug smuggler. That’s it 10 and 11 more years in solitary confinement for wounding a drug smuggler. Gee, that still doesn’t sound right.
Is it just me or has sex crimes become more acceptable recently? I feel like there’s never enough outrage in cases like this. Even that horrible story about the woman tortured in the trailer by the family of degenerates got turned into more of a comment on race relations, as if the victims race was what made it awful and not the acts themselves.
I hope it’s just sensationalism and not a trend toward minimizing rape and molestation.
